  • Die Te Waewae Bay ist die westlichste der drei großen Buchten, die die Küste der Foveaux Strait auf Seiten der Südinsel Neuseelands bilden. Die anderen beiden sind Oreti Beach und Toetoes Bay. Die Bucht ist 27 km lang. Das Westende ist das gebirgige Ende der Südalpen und des Fiordland National Park. Die kleine Landsiedlung liegt auf den Klippen am Ostende der Bucht, die von Forstwirtschaft geprägte Gemeinde Tuatapere 7 km nördlich von der Bucht am Ufer des Waiau River, der in die Bucht mündet. Die Te Waewae Bay ist eine Station der Southern Scenic Route. (de)
  • La bahía de Te Waewae es la más occidental de las tres grandes bahías que se encuentran en la costa del estrecho de Foveaux en Southland, Nueva Zelanda, siendo las otras la y la bahía de Toetoes. Con 27 kilómetros de longitud, el extremo occidental de la bahía es montañoso, con el extremo sur de los Alpes Meridionales y el parque nacional de Fiordland. Las tierras circundantes, tanto costeras como terrestres, albergan 2 especies de pingüinos (pequeños y crestados de Fiordland), 25 especies de aves nativas y los murciélagos de cola larga de Nueva Zelanda en peligro de extinción.​ (es)
